While Cheryl and I were on the hunt for barns in Southbury we stumbled upon this old gem. Which, of course, isn’t a barn. I thought, at first, that it was some type of meeting house back in the day. I wasn’t able to find anything on the internet about it so I reached out to the Southbury Historical Society. Their President was kind enough to write back to me. She informed me that this was a church from 1827 – 1942 and that the steeple had fallen off. It was eventually sold to the resident living next door. Its current status is a little sketchy. Having said all that I must say that I love this building. To me it’s a gorgeous representation of yesteryear. Thanks go out to the Historical Society for giving us some framework around this relic.
